This page tracks the project status, incubator-wise. For more general

The Apache Woden Project will develop a Java class library for
reading, manipulating, creating and writing WSDL documents, initially
to support WSDL 2.0 but with the longer term aim of supporting past,
present and future versions of WSDL

Mar. 2006
Woden has declared milestones 3 and 4. These milestones include parsing
logic for the WSDL document and component models and the SOAP extensibility elements.
Validation for the WSDL document and component models in nearing completion.
Woden was demonstrated
at the W3C Web Service Description Working Group F2F Meeting
on Feb 28, 2006 during the Technical Plenary Week in Cannes, Mandelieu, France.
A WSDL 1.1 - 2.0 converter, which makes use of Woden,
was created at the W3C.
-
Dec. 2005
The milestone plan, originally too ambitious, was updated to reflect
Woden's new schedule. Woden milestone 2 was declared. Milestone 2
contains parsing logic for WSDL 2.0 interface and binding elements
and components, and validation logic for the WSDL 2.0 types element
and interface element and component.

Oct. 2005
We posted a Woden milestone plan in September covering M1 at end-Sept
through to M5 in Jan 2006. Completion of the initial project
objective, full WSDL 2.0 functionality, is targetted for M4 end-Nov.
M1 was release on Mon 3 Oct and included most but not all of the
planned scopd. M3 and M4 will be busy periods. M5 and future plans
will emerge as we approach M4 and start thinking about other Woden
objectives like WSDL 1.1 conversion and StAX XML parsing for the Axis
community. We are using the woden-dev mailing list for communication
and discussion and recently held our first conference call - although
not all participants could make the call, it helped confirm the
Milestone plan and resolve some technical issues. Most of the
development is currently being done by 2 committers and this may
continue up to M3/M4, by which time we will have a suitable base for
others to start building on.

Sept. 2005
Woden incubator progress slower than expected over summer, but plan
now agreed with milestone deliverables each month to complete WSDL
2.0 functionality by December.
This is the first phase on incubation, needed to start the project at
Apache.
Item assignment is shown by the Apache id.
Completed tasks are shown by the completion date (YYYY-MM-dd).

N/A

If request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external
package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail
address names.

N/A

If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project,
then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance.

N/A

If request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess the
fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the
incubator address/module names if accepted.

These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation
process.
These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they
may change during incubation.
They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and
completed in the request for incubation signoff.
-
Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and
acknowledged as committers on the project?
Yes.
-
Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition
of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there
is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared
employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as
individuals, directly or indirectly.)
Yes. Woden is actively lead by John Kaputin and Lawrence Mandel,
committers from IBM. The list of people who have made commits to the Woden
repository are Eran Chinthaka (Indiana University), Matt Duftler (IBM),
Chathura Herath (Indiana University), Jeremy Hughes (IBM),
John Kaputin (IBM), Lawrence Mandel (IBM), Arthur Ryman (IBM),
Oshani Seneviratne (MIT), Davanum 'Dims' Srinivas (independent), and Graham
Turrell (IBM). Matt, Jeremy, Arthur, Oshani, and Graham have all made
significant contributions to Woden. Chinthaka,
Chathura, and Dims have all contributed bug fixes in support of Axis2.
It is also of note that over the past year Woden has seen large
contributions from non-committers such as Dan Harvey (IBM summer student),
who fixed many bugs and refactored Woden's build process, Sagara Gunathunga
(independent), who is currently working on serializing the Woden model,
and Tomi Vanek (independent), who contributed a WSDL viewer.
-
Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
Yes. All project decisions are discussed on both the public weekly Woden telecons and on
the woden-dev mailing list.
-
Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of
the committers?
Yes. See the Woden Decision Making and Development Processes document.
- Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and
acknowleged by all committers?
Yes.
Woden is playing a valuable role in the Web services space and as such
has already been adopted by the following projects:
Things to check for before voting the project out.
-
If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it?
Yes. The Web Services PMC accepted Woden in
a vote
that resulted in 15 +1s, no 0s, and no -1s.
-
Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of
the above tasks?
Yes. The Incubator PMC voted in favor of Woden's graduation
with 8 +1s, no 0s, and no -1s. The vote was called on Dec. 8, 2007.
